About Mary
Mary Agnes "Maggie" Thompson is a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience in Tennessee. She approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Maggie focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.
Maggie uses a mix of practical therapies to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward what matters. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs work on close relationships and intimacy-related concerns. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at life stories and patterns that affect mood and self-esteem.
Her experience includes supporting people through adoption and foster care concerns alongside issues such as depression, panic, gender dysphoria, and multicultural or immigration-related stress. She also helps with work-related strains like compassion fatigue and first responder challenges. Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-minded while exploring deeper feelings when useful.
Maggie works with issues around sleep, self-worth, career decisions, and coping with big life changes. She frames progress as small, practical steps and focuses on what people can do between sessions. The overall goal is to build clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day routines.
People who choose Maggie can expect a collaborative approach. She listens first, then tailors a plan to match each person’s goals and pace. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small, values-driven actions. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional patterns in close relationships to improve connection and intimacy. Narrative Therapy looks at a person’s stories and helps reframe those narratives to reduce shame and increase agency.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time if something feels off or if goals change.
